10 hilariously awkward award ceremony moments

Another award night is upon us in the form of the The British Academy Film Awards. It means glitz, glamour... and goofs. Yes, there are plenty of opportunities in the many hours of award ceremony footage for something to go wrong (or so, so right, depending on your taste). And as luck would have it, there are always lots of cameras around to catch the action.

Butterfingers

Twilight star Kristen Stewart was so excited about her 2009 MTV Movie Awards trophy that she couldn't even hold onto her popcorn-shaped trophy. It's such a funny moment that this person has gone to the effort of talking us through it, pausing and rewinding, before letting us watch her drop it all over again.
